Waiting on Wednesday: Cate of the Lost Colony

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine. "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Cate of the Lost Colony by Lisa M. Klein

Pub. Date: October 12, 2010

Goodreads says, "The greatest unsolved mystery of American history--what happened to all the colonists who landed on Roanoke Island in 1587? This novel traces the fortunes and misfortunes of one Cate Archer, banished to Virginia by a jealous Queen Elizabeth because of her dalliance with Sir Walter Ralegh. What will be her fate in this dangerous New World?"

*I love historical fiction and this one seems pretty unique to me. I haven't read a YA novel about the colonists on Roanoke Island before. It sounds promising! What book are you waiting for?

oh i love young adult historical fiction books! they enable to glimpse into the past without losing the young adult theme, and i think that's great. this one looks like a good book, and the cover's really pretty. great pick!

Oh, this one sounds excellent! I love historical fiction even though I don't read enough of it. And Roanoke Colony has so much mystery around it...any book with it as its topic is bound to be interesting.
